How many times have you been in love?

Asked by gravity (3116points) August 26th, 2011

I am leaning more towards great loves of your life… not a passing crush. I have 2 loves that I can’t get out of my head… if only…

Well I will count the number of times I thought I was in love until the next love overwhelmed the previous one, by comparison…still those times counted because, for me, they were the best I knew of love at the time…so that would make 4 men, 1 woman.

Once…but it was a good one.

Twice. The second one loved me back. : )

About 5 times, although I can honestly say only the first and the last (most recent) were the real deal.

More times than I can count. I am one of those people who falls in love very easily. Thankfully, I’m also one of those people who recovers well so my heart’s only been broken three or four times. ;)

Once, and she’s snoring right next to me.

Four.

I don’t see love as a commodity that is depleted with use. I feel as though I will always love everyone who I have granted my love to, and that no love I have ever given, or will give is ever wasted.

1 time.
Not at band camp.

There are a couple of people that I’ve loved in what felt like a romantic fashion. What it boiled down to is that I loved them for who they are. There has only been one person whom I have both love and been in love with.

Many. I don’t think love has to be permanent. You can be really in love right now, enjoy an amazing time living in the moment with a person, and then it passes- but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t real.

high school, 1; college, 1; post college, 3. The last one has stuck with me for 50 years.

It’s complicated.

Once. I’m not entirely sure it was love, but if it wasn’t, it was pretty close.

I like how @Simone_De_Beauvoir puts it: “they were the best I knew of love at the timeā€¦”

For the best I knew at that time, I have been in love with 3 guys. (in heat, infatuated with, a passing crush, or a temporary spark… has to be over 50)

Twice for sure, maybe another past one, and possibly am right now but its hard to be sure.

I’m a libra (if that means anything?). I have been in love twice before my love now, but I have loved many ;)

Earthgirl's avatar

4 times. I consider it true love if I know that until the day I die that person will always have a special place in my heart.

Jellie's avatar

Never. I have once or twice thought I was in love but it was more of infatuation and the nice feeling you have during the beginning of a relationship. I sometimes feel I’ll never fall in love… sigh

bunnygrl's avatar

only once, and I was blessed in that he loves me back. He is my best pal, and my one great love. I only have to think of him to be filled with so many emotions, and he only has to look across the room at me and smile for the whole world to light up. soppy i know but true xx

Jellie's avatar

@bunnygrl so damn sweet!!!

bunnygrl's avatar

:-) <throws lots of squeezy hugs for @Jellie> xx Together nearly 30 years, married for almost 27, and he has blue eyes that still make my heart skip. I know. I’m a lost case.

lonelydragon's avatar
